No offense meant, but this is a bad topic. I would have to list 304 items and others would be able to list even more. What is the point?

[Avid]

I can list them on one hand:

The Lion King
Finding Nemo
Space Jam (deal with Looney Tunes)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Columbia House screw up)

This is funny. The only reason I have Space Jam is because of that Costco deal paying me to buy it. I wonder if anyone actually wanted to purchase this DVD.

[larphillips]

Ummm.... like 400 or so.

[SeanL]

Most people are gonna have way too many to list. If you have more than say 15 or 20, don't list them all...but instead, maybe list some of the standout additions to your collection.

[Harro5]

I only started collecting this year, but already have in excess of 60 titles. Mind you, most of them were bought dirt cheap in China last month. For all you DVD collectors with small budgets, that is a great place for buying big!!! All the titles I bought are listed on my Guzzlefish page, found in my sig...

[Notoriousaurus]

i bought some DVDs this year... they have movies on them.

[Buffalo Bill]

I'm guessing around 150-200 titles.

Highlights are the usual:
LOTR: TTT EE
Alien Quadrilogy
Indy Box Set
Finding Nemo
Lion King Platinum
Sleeping Beauty SE
Bond Box Sets 2 & 3
Looney Tunes Gold
lots more but no clue exactly what I bought this year (especially the early months).

[wynterfire]

well, i started out the year at 293. and now i'm at 752 (with 7 more coming in the mail). so you can say i need professional help.

[Brian Eggert]

[SeanL]

PLEASE...

If you got more than say 15 or 20 movies in the past year, do NOT list them all. These long lists make it cumbersome to scroll thru.

[cisco1959]

I'm not listing 258 dvd's, if you want to know what they are, you can see the list on my DVDProfiler link in my sig:

start with #730 and work your way down to #988

If the guy who started this thread asks for a list of the DVDs we bought in 2003, and if I bought more than 20, then I'm going to list all of them... Quit complaining, and don't read the lists if they're too long for you.

[SeanL]

Ok...I've asked twice now, nicely even. Now I'm gonna have to do this the hard way. From here on out, I'm gonna start editing any long lists.

Ohh, and Brian Eggert, you need to be checking your pm's. You're gonna have one waiting.

He's a mod... he is just trying to keep the place clean and the search function useful.

Brian Eggert, If you would look at the user status of Sean you will see that he is a moderator of the forum. He has asked that people keep their lists to 20 and under. Please respect that request.

thank you,

[George McFly]

I won't even attempt to list them

I actually misunderstood your first post, else I would not have listed 43. I did think that this was a bad topic.
